Why Lease Your New Grand Highlander?
Leasing puts you in a three-row SUV during the years it runs at its best, fully covered by Toyota's factory warranty and on a
predictable monthly payment. For a growing family, that means a vehicle sized for car seats, sports gear, and road trips
without the long-term resale questions that come with buying outright. At the end of your term, you can step into the newest
Grand Highlander with the latest technology and safety features rather than holding a vehicle past its prime. It is a
practical fit for households that want room and reliability without a long-term commitment.

Performance and Powertrain
The 2026 Grand Highlander XLE is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 265 horsepower and 310
lb.-ft. of torque, sent through a Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission. That torque arrives low in the rev range,
which makes the Grand Highlander feel responsive when merging onto Route 119 or climbing the grades common across the
region. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, the XLE handles a small camper or boat for trips to Ohiopyle or the
Laurel Highlands. EPA-estimated fuel economy comes in at 21 city / 28 highway / 24 combined MPG, a reasonable return for a
three-row SUV of this size and capability.
Interior and Technology
The driver's seat in the Grand Highlander XLE is SofTex-trimmed, heated, and 10-way power adjustable with lumbar support.
The front passenger seat is 8-way power adjustable, also in SofTex. Second-row captain's chairs and a 60/40 split-folding
third row give the cabin flexibility for people or cargo, with 57.9 cubic feet opening up when the third row is down and
97.5 behind the front seats with both rows folded flat. A 12.3-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen handles wireless
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, and a SiriusXM three-month trial subscription. Qi-compatible
wireless charging and a Smart Key System with Push Button Start on all doors and the liftgate complete the daily essentials
across all three rows.
